JJK 236 SPOILERS

[Ven437]

I'm not crying, but to say so much shit and then not take it back?

Like Im not gonna lie to you dude, that feels kinda personal lol

Do you think a bunch of Gojo diehards who constantly pushed Mickey mouse shrine and Clownkuna knocked out for weeks would actually say sorry to you after their man got offscreened and babyass wiped by Gege?

This is the internet man, you should never get personal with anything, you think I get personal when Admiraltards calls me a “Pig Mom fan?” No I just laugh at their sorry asses for letting their vile hatred for a fictional character get over their empty heads. So stop complaining and just move on.

we all don’t have a fucking clue about how Sukuna beat Gojo

From what i've seen and read, Sukuna is able to learn Maho adapting ability with only "seeing it" and since Maho already adapt to his Infinity, his Cleave and Dismantle are able to bypass Gojo's infinity without using DA.

Of course its only my opinion

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

Ngl at this point the powerscaling talk is just annoying

It's pretty clear that Sukuna is superior


The actual interesting stuff is talking about how this fight illuminated more of Gojo and Sukuna's character for us.

Which I think it did exceptionally

I think Gojo glazing Sukuna when he knows Sukuna is about to go kill all of the students is some AOT 139 shit.

Like Gojo's whole goal was to train strong allies.

"Let me die and stick the guy stronger than me on them."

"Oh and also that guys is so amazing he would beat my ass without trying."

That is terrible and confused characterization imo

We do though. The translations are a bit weird but it's not that complicated.

Mahoraga's adaption doesn't just stop adapting, it continues to adapt, it finds new ways to adapt. The first way it adapted was by altering it's CE properties to counteract the properties of limitless. Altering the fundamental nature of your CE is not something Sukuna can do. So he was looking for a "blueprint" as he puts it, from Mahoraga on how to attack/bypass infinity.

And that second adaptation, ends up being actually targeting the space that encompasses Gojo. Not just sending a projectile at him. Essentially almost like a sure-hit from a Domain Expansion.

And we see that here

The wheel turns, representing an advancement in the adaptation. He then uses a slashing attack, and Yuji even directly compares it to Sukuna's.

The dialogue "Show me what you got" is actually not the best translation. It's actually a callback to what Sukuna told Megumi back in the Finger Bearer Arc.

More along the lines of "Enchant Me"

And in Shibuya, when Sukuna recalls that, he thinks "You showed me the way Fushiguro"

So here Mahoraga is literally showing him the blueprint for how to attack infinity.

We know Sukuna is a glutton, he is a consumer, and he has mastery on a divine level of Jujutsu. Remember, we were told that after seeing the soul being split once, he was able to replicate it essentially on command. A similar sentiment with restoring his burnt-out Cursed Technique with RCT

So what he did to defeat Gojo, was replicate Mahoraga's blueprint (attacking the actual space of gojo, not just sending projectiles that will never hit him)

It's a bit similar to the prison realm thing with Gojo. Gojo had the technical skill to shrink his domain that small, but he needed to actually experience being in that realm in order to pull it off

Jujutsu is all about the your imagination, the mental limits you place on yourself, how far you are able to interpret with your cursed technique etc.

Again, it's a call back to Sukuna's domain, described as "A masterpiece painting on air, without a canvas"

Very well done

@RayanOO make a poll
Should Gojobros apologize to Kinyagi?
The way you’re demanding an apology is pretty crazy to me LMFAO

I’m not gassing Gojo up, I’m stating facts. Gojo was the hook and the reason why a lot of fans stayed for JJK.
A lot of characters in JJK are bland anyways lmfao, the main character himself is lukewarm water especially in the first season.

Loool done

The spoils are still a bit messy with the trad etc so we could likely answer you only on Friday with the release

But for now I think we are more in the 1st scenario but with the bit of the second scenario too

If Big Mom low diff'd an admiral I would congratulate you.

Like say Pringles gets Kizaru low diffing Luffy right, even though I doubt it, I would 1000% apologize for bullying so much.

What exactly am I supposed to take from this? I'm not trying to be "hollier than thou", but this is pathetic

 

[Wuuuke]

Jogo'd but a bit more respect

It's not even that

Gojo smiling, being satisfied that he gave his all. No longer having to bear the burden of the strongest, being able to become human again essentially. It's why the flashback shows young gojo, and why he's talking to geto. The one who understood him most. After he had an awakening against Toji and transcended, nobody could understand him anymore. He was no longer Satoru Gojo. He was the strongest. Sukuna has lifted him of that burden now though. It's also why all the complaints about Gojo's dialogue being "out of character" are silly

The entire design of Gojo's character is that his character doesn't really exist. He's a pillar of society. It's why when he looks into the prison realm, he just sees a void. This stuff right here in this chapter is probably the closest we're ever getting to the true character of Satoru Gojo.

Also the way Sukuna speaks. "As long as I exist"

NOT "As long as I live"

Again, speaks to his transcendental nature, how he's more of a calamity, not a person, which goes into how he's almost the meta-author of JJK in a sense. Basically the entire series conforms to his ideals, his philosophies, etc. It's why what he said was going to happen, is exactly what did happen.

To him, Gojo was not an honored one. And thus he did not have the death of an honored one.

It's also partially why I think him getting slashed was offscreen. Gojo got hit with an attack he couldn't comprehend. Much like how Toji got killed by purple. That kind of attack can't even be expressed really. Which is why it happens in between publications. Which also again, ties back into Sukuna's almost authorial status from a meta-perspective.

Gege himself has talked about characters that evolve past their intended script.

Maki and Toji are great examples, and Sukuna might be the absolute apex of that.

 

[Shiroyru]

I think Gojo glazing Sukuna when he knows Sukuna is about to go kill all of the students is some AOT 139 shit.

Like Gojo's whole goal was to train strong allies.

"Let me die and stick the guy stronger than me on them."

"Oh and also that guys is so amazing he would beat my ass without trying."

That is terrible and confused characterization imo

I mean Gojo still did destroy Mahoraga and most of Sukuna’s Shikigami, make Sukuna unable to use DE, and drain a lot of his CE. So he did make beating Sukuna 10x easier

 

[Wuuuke]

I asked someone else in another forum to explain it and this is what I got… is it true?

Yeah I saw this too. A bitttt crude, but easy enough to convey the general idea.

 

[GrandmasterChef Zonji]

Pretty much True

It's more than this though. It's a selfless principle, that Gojo undertakes for selfish reasons

He doesn't want strong allies just for the fuck of it. He wants allies strong enough, so that he can actually feel understood again, so that he can actually connect again beyond a superficial level. That's why he says he gave everything he had against Sukuna, and hoped it would translate. And it's why he implies he dies with no regrets.

The students are important to Gojo's character.

But BY FAR the biggest aspect is this confliction and the implications of being "The Strongest"

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

I asked someone else in another forum to explain it and this is what I got… is it true?

The only major inaccuracy is that Gojo isn't really on another page/world when he uses infinity but it gives the idea.

Sukuna targetted the space Gojo is in with a cut, not Gojo himself.

I'm kinda surprised it's confusing people that much

 

[Wuuuke]

Very well done

Thank you!

This is TCB

Maybe I should make a thread dedicated to that lol

He is explicitly not a self insert. No JJK character is.

Which translation is correct? Music and volume are way too different. If it’s music then I will accept it but if it’s actually volume then I will never read TCB again, their translations have been so ass lately man.

I'm not positive.

To me it's generally just talking about the energy of the fight. Similar to how we just had "Gojo Satoru's voltage rises."

Gege has also used that term in the fanbook to express that kind of rise in energy/hype.

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

The best aging video of all time?

 

[Wuuuke]

Also to reiterate what I said earlier:

For people complaining it got offscreened.. what does showing Gojo getting slashed actually do? How is that better in any way?

I much prefer the way it was actually delivered. We, as the readers, have been mirroring the JJK cast as audiences of this behemoth of a fight. Learning new things, asking the same questions, being just as awestruck, etc.

It only makes sense that we would suffer the same whiplash of Gojo's death, as the actual JJK cast is as well. And it hits even harder that way IMO
